I, within

Alvarita McArthur 1988 (placerville)

Free verse
Negativity,
dwelling within,
no more,
calmly provoking happiness within,
a challenge,
not in the least,
i now begin to know harmony
i dont seek peace,
for it has found me,
i beg not nor plead,
for there is no evil to leave,
i know now where i stand,
and it is where i want to be.

About this poem

So, I wrote this to help overcome the negativity that is around me, so that I have good energies flowing within me.
